Some fun memories

The vehicle we have all liked the most is the Land Cruiser we owned while in Tanzania. Even the kids would agree.

We bought it from missionaries and sold to another missionary. We have did lot with this vehicle:
We took a newborn and mother home from the hospital, 
got medical help for a Tanzanian employee at the office, 
went to scripture dedications,

Took it on many long trips,
It had lots of power to get us over the big hills 

Had fun off roading

Went on a safari with Lisa...

...and got a flat tire

we got bogged
Thanks Ronit, for hoping this would happen. Glad we could help you check that off your bucket list.
it helped us get in and out of our road which was quite a challenge at times

It was waiting for us when we got to Tanzania in Sept. 2011, 5 days later we went on our first all day road trip to language school. We drove it across the country, drove it to the Kenyan coast twice, we hit a gazelle with it, got hung up on a stump and the list goes on. We had fun times in the truck and some not so fun times but it served us well and was fun to drive.

Friends, Warm weather and fun

I know it has been an extremely long time since I did a blog post. But I hope to do posts more often but don't hold your breath. :)

We spent the last week and half in Orlando at the Wycliffe USA headquarters. We went to attend a re-entry program as well some extra time for fun and friends.

The first two days were spent with Keith's parents swimming and at Legoland.

The best part of our trip to Florida was seeing friends from Tanzania.

Ronit was in Musoma with us.
One of the group activities we did last week was visit Gatorland.

We also got to spend some time in Downtown Disney with Ronit.
Nikki has taken her picture with this Cinderella
each of the 3 times we have gone to Downtown Disney
We enjoyed getting to see many friends that we have gotten to know over the last 3 years.
 
We visited the school the kids will attend next school year and we started looking at houses.
 
It was a very busy but good 9 days in Orlando. We already miss the warm weather. One thing we will really like about living in Orlando is seeing missionary friends from Tanzania and other places that will be passing through Wycliffe.
